Chapter Forty-Eight: The Paths
In the dark night, Gu Qinghan and the others walked forward in the unknown mountains and forests, and they did not talk to each other until Billy grabbed his shoulders from behind, and the guys stopped advancing.
"What are you doing?" Gu Qinghan turned around, only to see that everyone's eyes were following Billy's gaze into the shadows in the distance.
Artoria couldn't help but sneer, and raised her voice, "Don't you see, someone has found us." β
So, in the silent dark night, Gu Qinghan heard a strange sound, like a voice from some depth, heavy...
It's like a beast of prey coming out of its cage.
And thenβ
Rumble!
A sudden explosion came out of the night, and a huge figure as Mount Tai emerged from the shadows and appeared in front of Gu Qinghan.
The momentary low air pressure made him feel the air around him freeze, and the ground beneath his feet seemed to crack a huge gap, making him feel like he was stepping on a rocking boat.
Then, a gathering wind erupted from the center of the fall, and in the darkness of the night, a figure finally revealed in the dim moonlight.
Artoria looked at him with interest and asked Billy, "Do you know?" β
Billy was silent for a few seconds and let out a confused voice: "Kratos? β
Kratos, a Spartan nation born in Greece, is known as the "Spirit of Sparta", who lost his wife and daughter due to the conspiracy of the god of war, Ares, after which he became an avenger and eliminated Ares, becoming a new generation of war gods. Later, he was ousted from the throne by Zeus, so he decided to take revenge on Zeus. After destroying the Temple of Olympus and defeating Zeus, he lives incognito somewhere in the north with his son Atreus, deciding to change his brutality and start a new life.
And now, the monster who has slaughtered the entire Olympic gods has appeared in front of them.
He didn't care how strange the atmosphere was, and the man with the two tomahawks on his back moved the muscles of his wrists and said, "That little thing Hisoka's noticed that someone was coming, so I wanted to come out and take a look." β
His eyes bypassed Saya, circled around Billy, Artoria, Blanton, and Oink, and finally returned to Gu Qinghan's body.
"Is that him?"
At this time, Gu Qinghan was finally able to take the initiative to speak, he took a step back, stared at the two hideous blood marks on Kratos's chest, and said slowly: "You..."
"I don't think who he is has anything to do with you." Billy said first.
Looking at these guys who were most of his own body, Kratos bent down in silence before he said, "A little piglet with a crippled godhead, a wooden doll, a lump of meat sauce, a little toy that looks fun, a swordsman who doesn't have much to look at, andβ"
"A useless mortal, excluding that ridiculous legend, you think you can stop me?"
There are disputes, but the living still need to keep fighting, but they are tired of it.
Is this senseless, hopeless battle really useful?
After his weapon that could have slain the gods was broken once, he knew that this tattered world was hopeless.
Ignoring the killing intent they exuded, Kratos, who didn't know what he was thinking, finally spoke again: "Forget it, if you are interested, come with me." β
After he had said this, he went to the depths of the forest without caring for himself.
"Let's go, nothing will happen with this buddy." Gu Qinghan saw that none of them reacted, so he raised his head and said, "What's the matter, if he wants to kill us, he will do it a long time ago." β
Having played the God of War series, he naturally knows how terrifying Kratos' combat power is.
A quarter of an hour later, they arrived at a camp.
Along the way, he also met many people in charge of patrolling, all of them wearing different clothes, some of them Gu Qinghan recognized, while others had never seen them.
And the only thing they have in common is that they are more or less injured, and they all nodded in acquiescence after seeing Kratos, it seems that his position among these people is more important.
After all, he is the god of war, Gu Qinghan can only think of this reason.
And in the middle of the night, the only place that can be regarded as "lively" may be the big tent that has been temporarily set up in front of you.
There were several voices arguing in it, and they could all hear it clearly from a distance of more than ten meters.
"Keep up." Kratos lifted the curtain of the tent and walked in, the cacophony of noise suddenly disappearing.
Gu Qinghan shrugged and followed.
Anyway, the life in this cosmic network can't affect itself-
The tent, which was not very large, was already full, and at the long table in the center, several people continued to argue about something, and it seemed that they were almost about to start preaching the "truth."
And after seeing Gu Qinghan and them come in, everyone cast questioning glances.
Behind him, Billy glanced at them with a grim gaze; Blanton, on the other hand, had a stiff expression at the sight of a familiar face; Saya stood in the shadows behind Gu Qinghan and didn't say a word, as if he didn't like the atmosphere here.
Oh, you ask Oink, it's digging a hole next to the tent and playing.
At this time, Billy whispered Gu Qinghan and said, "Well, the one holding the katana on the other side of the long table and on the left is Abe Harumi, the most famous onmyoji in Japan." β
"Oh, it's my business. What about the uncle who looks like he's going to kill someone? Gu Qinghan replied in a long voice: "Why are you still European and American faces, you are an acquaintance?" β
"Canghaising, the most powerful vampire hunter in the West, once almost killed Count Dracula stupidly." Billy said helplessly, "By the way, we ghosts are also on his hunting list. β
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, you're all grasshoppers on a rope now." Gu Qinghan patted his head, and said with a bit of a playful mentality: "Besides, there are so many ghosts here, just one red aunt can slaughter him, what are you afraid of, and Blanton." β
"Big brother, do you see the person in the corner?" Blanton looked at Gu Qinghan with a smug look on his face, and said with a constipated expression.
"Who?" Gu Qinghan glanced at him along the place he pointed: "The one who wears... Why am I so handsome? β
"Handsome, it's not just handsome."
"Could it be that he still has two handles?" Gu Qinghan asked.
"You may not know him, but you've certainly heard of his name." Brandon looked at the soft-faced man with fear: "The horn angel of heaven, Michael. β
"Michael... That archangel? Gu Qinghan nodded his chin and asked uncertainly.
"Yes, he is the one in charge of the divine fire, and the one behind him who doesn't sleep enough do you know who it is?"
Gu Qinghan asked, "Which Buddha is it..."
"The glory of heaven, the fallen angel of today, Lucifer."
